Day of Presence

Who's In, Who's Out?: The Current Environment for Social Justice

Wednesday, April 27

Although many of us focus on issues of diversity daily, the campus community is asked to reflect on issues of racial diversity for two days each year when we observe the Day of Absence (April 22) and the Day of Presence (April 27).

Our focus this year has been on issues of access such as immigration rights and reform, access to higher education for people of color, ethnic studies, The Dream Act, hidden histories and historical trauma, anti-racism skills, community activism and allyship.
